Washington— Members of far-right extremist groups. Former police officers. An Olympic gold medalist swimmer. And active duty U.S. Marines.
They are among the hundreds of people who have been convicted in the massive prosecution of the Jan 6, 2021, riot in the three years since the stunned nation watched the U.S. Capitol attack unfold on live TV.
Washington’s federal courthouse remains flooded with trials, guilty plea hearings and sentencings stemming from what has become the largest criminal investigation in American history. And the hunt for suspects is far from over.

Hundreds of convictions based on suppressed evidence. Be interesting to see how things turn out now that the eye don't lie tapes have been released.

The major mystery is how so many people's civil rights could be violated so egregiously.
Deep State is sending a message, that's for sure.

Political prisoners all. This Administration has much to answer for, as do their agents.

The biggest unsolved mystery occurred two months earlier on midnight 11/03/20. Who ordered five battle ground states to halt counting at precisely the same instant? Why was the order unquestioningly obeyed? Why did it produce identical results four hours later?

I hope, if Trump wins he will mass pardon those prisoners. Not sure if you can do that, if not, make it a Day One promise to pardon them, one by one and don't stop until they are all released!

Its open ended because they want to be able to charge people who were not there if they speak too loudly or get too close to the truth. This is a Soviet style pogrom of political dissidents never seen before in America. The "Bastille" still has room. Orange Man Bad is still out there, frightening them. We still have our guns, and talk of Revolution is becoming common.
They are terrified, but don't know how to stop. Their leaders know they will be called to account if they fail to trample American Liberty. Due to the Media, they are not in the position to backdoor into the revolutionaries if trouble starts. Everyone has some sort of profile and history in social media, and you cant hide what your views were.

Congress has the power to abolish the federal district courts in D.C.

The obviously place to catch these malefactors would be at the airport as they try to flee accountability for their--what's it called? oh yeah-- insurrection.
I'm alarmed that the FBI, with all of its resources can't catch them.
It must be leadership. I think the FBI would be rejuvenated and closer to the conduits of antigovernment crime if we placed it under control of the TSA.

Ah yes, the great "pipe bomb mystery". Not only is there camera surveillance footage but, the perpetrator had a cell phone, just like the ones we have and like they were able to use to track down all the J6 "insurrectionists".... but somehow they just can't find who placed that pipe bomb. The world's most brilliant criminal....or a fed. And of course, you're a conspiracy theorist, a dangerous "magapublican" (as Joe likes to slur them into one word) if you think our pristine government could ever be involved in such activities. I'm so sick of these evil, wicked, lying people.

If you flew to the DC area at the time of J6 regardless of the reason, expect the fbi to show up at your front door to ask you some questions. Expect 24/7 surveillance afterwards - where you go, who you talk to and who your friends are, what you do with your time, and what you spend your money on.

Political witch hunt. The riot was on the part of the DC cops. They opened the doors, they escorted the "rioters", they were the ones armed and beating innocent legal protestors. They were the ones who killed unarmed protestors. They were the ones who fired into unarmed crowds filled with senior citizens, families with children etc.... So who in reality were the insurrectionist's?

No charges against Lt. Byrd who murdered Ashlee Babbitt for the alleges crime of trespassing. No charges against federal rabble rousers urging the crowd onward. No charges against against police officers firing flash bangs grenades into a then peaceful crowd. No charges for aiding and abetting for the Capitol Police Officers who opened the doors and invited in. This administration is EXACTLY like every bababa republic or communist hellhole.

Yes, AP, the “major mystery” is how the good and decent people in the US have allowed this travesty of justice to happen. It’s also a mystery how you can print the first few sentences and not have a dimes-worth of confusion about why people like this are in prison. And, it’s an even bigger mystery why our elected, so-called conservative leaders are letting these people rot in the hell of prison, abused, beaten and starving. And, the biggest mystery of all is how the government, in collusion with the media, gets away with keeping this lie alive. I can’t wait until you all get what you deserve. And, that time is fast approaching.

It is a comment on the state of our nation when instead of questioning why, three years later, the government is still going after citizens that were in Washington, DC that day, the press cheerleads the totalitarian power-grab that is swiftly occurring. Rather than question why millions of people continue to flood over our border, encouraged by OUR OWN GOVERNMENT, they continue to cheerlead the so-called human rights of these "dignified" and "oppressed" people.
This election is as important as the election of 1860. The conditions are ripe for an all-out rebellion.

There WAS NO "Attack", it was a Demonstration that was INVITED INTO the Capitol by the Capitol Police, It's on many of the VIDEO's!

Saint Pope John Paul II once said, "In the design of Providence, there are no mere coincidences." January 6 is the Feast of the Epiphany. The word epiphany means an illuminating discovery or realization of the nature of something. Slowly, but surely, as more of the 40,000 January 6 videos released by our government are studied, along with other private Jan 6 videos, the more complete will be the picture we have of what truly happened on that day.
It will be an epiphany!
